Well, which is it? Are you afraid that men have been feminized or that they live in perpetual boyhood?<br />
<br />
Last I checked, women and boys were very different.

it's a disservice to tax-payers to not be able to fathom where the money went for x amount of years. the bush era and others did away with public schooling. suddenly it seems the convenience of tv sky-rocketed; at the bank of fox/cnn news etc.. whatever corporate/faithbased/racebased company dove head-long w/the networks.<br />
<br />
the U.S. citizens that were supposed to be public school educated enough to read the paper and instructions at their place of work got the shaft through the funding of domestic racist companies and or greedy foreign-based companies<br />

<i>The macho men I've met have been weak and scared little men who can only feel strong when hitting someone or making someone feel smaller than they feel.</i><br />
<br />
That is very often the case, I think.<br />

A Vietnam Veteran once told me that, in his opinion, the traditional 'weaklings' of the company (or squadron, or whatever it's called) were often the most confident soldiers, as they were often used to being picked on. He felt that this helped them better deal with being shot at, while the big,…

He felt that this helped them better deal with being shot at, while the big, tough guys who were used to intimidating other people didn't know how to handle the pressure of war. Of course, I have no experiences to verify that, but that is what he told me. I can see how it would make sense. quite an interesting discussi…tag:atheistnexus.org,2009-10-18:2182797:Comment:5593992009-10-18T20:40:28.329ZIer Ahtnaphttp://atheistnexus.org/profile/IerAhtnap
quite an interesting discussion!<br />
No, I don't feel feminized... however I'd say that the perfect balance of equal rights isn't archieved yet. On one hand even in the western world many women still earn less cash than men who do the same work and they are still very often denied the control over their body in terms of abortion and reproductive medicine by conservative, outdated laws.<br />

On the other hand I notice quite a few tendencies here in Europe where men are put below women in front of the law. For example there are some laws that effectively prevent companies from hiring a male candidate when there is a female candidate who fits the job description as well. Also women typically don't get drafted, wtf??? Sure, men don't get pregnant so in theory they have an "advantage". But I can't remember a law that forces women to get pregnant!<br />
All in all I think the process of equality must be completed without ANY party loosing their position.<br />

and @thoreau: Visit one of the big metal festivals, you'll have second thoughts about the "claim your balls back" theory xD
